Robert Yee joined Wadham in 2023 as the third David Richards Junior Research Fellow in Economic History.

His research focuses on the economic and political history of modern Europe. He is particularly interested in the history of central banking, finance, and international relations. His main research project traces the rise of economic expertise in interwar Britain, while a second project explores the history of financial-sector regulation in Germany. Along with his past publications, his research aims to alter our understanding of modern economic governance in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
